USO Canteen Freeper Style

War has come to our shores. It was committed on American soil.  We have been able to live in Freedom only because of those who have fought in the past wars giving life, limb and all the sacrifices for us to live in Freedom and go about our day without fear.

On September 11, 2001, that comfort, that feeling of living in a land that would not be attacked ended.

William T. Sherman said it succinctly, "War is hell."

The day has come for this Nation and its people to understand that there is a risk in losing its freedom, and in reality there always has been. We have ONLY stayed free because of the sacrifices of our military, our warriors.

This is about saving the future of America. Aristotle said, "We make war that we may live in peace."

We are seeing the American Flag flying at homes now more than ever in my lifetime. We are seeing the American Flag flying on vehicles and people wearing Flag pins and small Flags on their clothes. America is united in the cause for Freedom and for our country to WIN against the evil that came upon our land to kill and hurt us. To change our way of life and to destroy America which is US, you and me. To take away our precious Freedom.

This is the Freeper version of the USO Canteen. Where soldiers could come and feel a small part of being at home. It is a place where you that have family in the military can post a thought to a loved one that might be able to read it far away from home. A place where we that support our military can help support them, post to them, fun graphics showing the price in America and our troops. Poems, quotes, cartoons, or articles of how America is behind our troops.

Those in our military are our Nation's warriors. Let us join hands, fly our Flag and let the world know how important our warriors are to us....And that our MILITARY, our Warriors, are America's TRUE HEROS!

Oh, SAM! Look at that face! That's not the one you had posted before (it was Beamer, lying down with the tiny little fluffy grey kitten right at his face), but how adorable! (BTW, the photo doesn't open without putting the url in our browser)

[Billie]

Great! Hi, FallGuy! The Rams are gonna go all the way, I just know it!

Bunny, I checked your profile page again since you made some changes - it's wonderful! Those who haven't seen it are really missing a wonderful tribute to Viet Nam veterans everywhere. It's beautiful, and everyone can tell it's from your heart.

[B4Ranch]

A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK old fart, time for you to retire."

The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the old hens over in the corner?" The young rooster says, "Beat it! You are washed up and I am taking over."

The old rooster says, "I'll tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Who-ever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop." The young rooster laughs, "You know you don't stand a chance old man, so just to be fair, I will give you a head start."

The old rooster takes off running. About l5 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He is already about 5 inches behind the old rooster and gaining fast.

The farmer, meanwhile is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters running. He grabs up his shotgun and BOOM! He blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, "Dangit.... third gay rooster I bought this month"

Moral of this story:

Don't mess with us old folks.... Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!

THAT is the one!!

Lynn - you're the one with the lodge photo on your server - want to make one more addition? That fluffy li'l grey kitten is Morgan - the Canteen's new female mascot. :^) (Isn't AOL being the absolute PITS with their server and graphics - I get so frustrated having to manually force the darn pics to open. I wish they would hurry up and FIX whatever their problem is)

[blackie]

Good morning...I believe there's a game today; don't celebrate until it's over... :o)

[Snow Bunny]

I love this Fiddlstix ! I always miss you when you are not here.
I hope all the trips you will be making are enjoyable but always know you will be missed her at your home away from home.
((( hug )))

"You didn't say, but was HE blonde? Or is that redundant?"

Pffftttt.......

o~<);-)

[The Thin Man]

That does it. What have you done with my T Man? I know you are an Alien and you've done something horrible to him. You give him back!

I'm puzzled. Is something amiss? I was reading and rereading my post and I don't see anything out of the norm. Are you feeling well? :-)

[Snow Bunny]

Good morning HJ !
That was fun last night naming the little kitty, Morgan.

Thank you for being here my friend.

[Snow Bunny]

rotfl... that is sooooo funny about the blonde and the soda machine. I love it whoever !!!!!!!

[Billie]

Hi, blackie. I know.....don't count your chickens before they hatch, etc. :^) Who's your pick?

[Snow Bunny]

Hahahahaa....good one Aquamarine. I am so glad to see you my friend ! Love the joke!!!!!

Oh Lookie I have to show you this. My favorite color is blue and look what Billie did .... BIG smile...

[SAMWolf]

I know, I can't figure out why the photo only displays that way after posting.

[LBGA]

I would be delighted to add Morgan to the pic. Which one do you want to use? I love the face. It could be climbing over the back of the couch that you are on. If you want her next to Beamer, I could use the second pic.

Did you forget which hostess posted today's thread? :^) You were so sweet, you must have gotten mixed up. :^)

[lodwick]

Some karma for the Steelers

[whoever]

Can you believe how many award shows they have now? They have awards for commercials.

The Cleo Awards, a whole show full of commercials. I taped it and then I fast-forwarded through the whole thing.

[Snow Bunny]

Now wait,I have a question.

Honest I started to read your joke......but .....I thought all roosters were all boys, and aren't all boys studs?? Or do some rooster have limp wrists.

[The Thin Man]

Did you forget which hostess posted today's thread? :^) You were so sweet, you must have gotten mixed up. :^)

No, I'm not mixed up. Right now I'm even looking at your picture. I love the blonde curls. :-)
